We Offer Business Cards Across a Wide Range of Stock Weights
The weight of a business card is the first thing a recipient notices when it is handed to them. A flimsy card communicates a brand that has not invested in the basics. A thick, substantial card communicates attention to detail and quality. We offer business cards across a range of stock weights from standard coated card for cost-efficient high-volume print to ultra-thick premium board for brands that want their card to stand out from the moment it is touched. The right stock depends on the brand’s positioning and the impression it wants to create at a first meeting.
Choose From Matte, Gloss, Soft Touch, and Specialty Finishes
The finish of a business card says a lot about the brand. It is just as important as what the card looks like. If you want a sophisticated look you should go with matte lamination. This is perfect for corporate brands. On the other hand gloss lamination makes the colours really stand out. This is great for brands that’re bold and energetic. Then there is touch coating. This gives the card a nice feel. It feels like velvet when you touch it. A lot of people like this for brands and creative agencies. You can also use spot UV to make certain parts of the card stand out. For example you can use it on a logo or a key design element. This creates a contrast against a matte background and really catches your eye.
Foil Stamping, Embossing and Edge Painting to Make Your Business Card Stand Out
When you want your business card to leave a lasting impression our special effects can really help. These effects include Foil Stamping, Embossing and Edge Painting. They can make a difference, for brands looking to make their business cards more memorable. We can add gold, silver rose gold, copper or holographic foil to the cards, which gives them a look that you just cannot get from something on a screen. We can also make the cards feel nice to touch by raising or lowering a logo or pattern on the surface, which’s something that people will definitely notice. Our business card special effects are what make a card into something people will remember. Edge painting adds a vivid colour to all four card edges in a brand colour for a striking detail that is only seen when the card is held. We offer all of these effects individually and in combination.
Double-Sided Print That Communicates More About the Brand
Every business card we print is available double-sided as standard. The front carries the primary brand identity and the contact details. The back carries a secondary design element, a brand statement, a QR code for a digital portfolio, a product or service prompt, or a simple clean finish in a brand colour. A well-designed back panel turns the card over more often than a plain white back, which keeps the card in the recipient’s hand longer and communicates more about the brand. Full CMYK printing with Pantone matching is available on both sides.
Rounded Corners, Custom Shapes, and Non-Standard Sizes
A business card does not have to be the standard 90mm by 50mm rectangle. Rounded corners give a softer, more contemporary feel that suits lifestyle, wellness, and creative brands. A square card in 65mm by 65mm stands out immediately in a wallet or a card holder. A mini card suits brands that want a more discreet and elegant format. A die-cut card in a custom shape communicates a brand willing to invest in standing out. We offer all of these format options and produce them to the same print quality standard as our standard card formats.
QR Codes, Digital Integration, and Functional Card Design
A QR code on a business card is really useful because it connects the card to the digital brand right away. When you put a QR code in a spot on the card it can link to things like a portfolio or a booking page or even a product catalogue or a social profile. This turns a business card that just sits there into a way for people to actually interact with the brand. We always include QR codes in our business card designs. Make sure they are big enough and in the right spot so people can scan them easily. We do this because QR codes on a business card are a way to make the card more useful and help people connect with the digital brand. NFC cards are available for brands that want a contactless digital connection without a printed QR code.
Wholesale and Volume Pricing for Print Shops and Agencies
Print shops, design agencies, and corporate teams ordering business cards for multiple team members or clients benefit from our wholesale pricing structure. The per-unit cost reduces progressively with volume. The same print quality standard is maintained across every run regardless of order size.
